Ch. 164 - Brother Shows Off, Brother Shows Off
Soon---
The news of the great battle of the Golden Eagle Sect spread like wildfire, shaking the forces of Huang Gu.
"What? The second young master of the Qin family, the waste, is the descendant of the Dragon Elephant Great Emperor, single-handedly fighting three Elders of the Nascent Soul Realm from the Golden Eagle Sect!?"
"The second young master of the Qin family, the waste? Could it be the one who was crippled years ago!?"
"That's him, isn't it? This year, he was even rejected by Lin Xin'er from the Heavenly Heart City"
"The second young master of the Qin family who shouted about the Thirty-Year River East and Thirty-Year River West agreement for a battle in the imperial capital three years later!?"
"That's him, heard he obtained one of the seven Dao Fruits."
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the waste of the past years actually rose again."
"It seems that the sovereign position lies not in the bones, but in the person."
"Now the pressure is on Qin Feng's side. The younger brother rises again, while he has become a waste."
"Whether Qin Feng is truly waste or not, and whether he can really single-handedly suppress tens of thousands of Sky Sect Realm cultivators, is still uncertain."
"Regardless of whether the news is true or false, the twin brothers of the Qin family that are three years apart in age are destined to have a battle, and it feels like it's not far away."
...
After the news of Qin Hao's resurgence spread, some people watched with a mentality of enjoying the show, but they also felt a bit like they had swallowed a fly.
At this moment---
In the Heavenly Heart City.
Lin Xin'er had already been successfully brought back, and she had also received the news of Qin Hao's strong resurgence.
"Who allowed you to cancel the marriage?!"
Lin Hao, the Lord of the City of Heavenly Heart, angrily rebuked Lin Xin'er in front of him.
He had long said that as the first family of the Huang Gu, the Lin family couldn't afford to confront the Qin family with their current strength, and he also knew why Qin Hao was crippled, and why he could endure not cancelling the marriage for seven years.
But his precious daughter, she was fooled by a few words from that side, and actually ran to the Qin family to cancel the marriage alone.
Didn't she realize that Fang Chang wanted to sow discord between their Heavenly Heart City and the Qin family, so that the royal family of Da Xia could benefit!?
"I realized it!"
Lin Xin'er couldn't help muttering. She had long seen through Fang Chang's intentions.
But if she had to marry a waste, she wouldn't even consider it. She would rather be at odds with the Qin family. Besides, their Heavenly Heart City could still ally with the royal family of Da Xia. What's there to fear from the Qin family?
"If you weren't my daughter, I would slap you to death, believe it or not?!"
Lin Hao was so angry that he aged ten years less, and he realized that this little cotton jacket was too porous.
You say she's smart, she is indeed smart, able to see through what the other party is up to at a glance, but if you say she's as dumb as a pig, it feels like an insult to the pig.
Can mixing with the royal family of Da Xia bear any good fruit!?
No matter who it is, once they sit in that position, they will try their best to strengthen centralization of power and never let other forces slip out of their control. Only when they unite with the aristocratic families can they resist the imperial power and maintain their own authority.
But now it's too late. Qin Hao's resurgence has made it impossible for their Heavenly Heart City to get along with the Qin family. They can only rely wholeheartedly on the royal family of Da Xia.
Moreover, Lin Xin'er's performance in the Kunlun Hidden Realm this time, although she clearly saw the possibility of Qin Feng's manipulation behind the scenes, her way of handling it not only did not clear her name, but instead made herself a suspect. Now their Heavenly Heart City has discovered many spies from various forces, and if they're not careful, they could become targets of public criticism.
"It's not my fault about the Kunlun Hidden Realm incident. I only spoke the truth!" Lin Xin'er couldn't help muttering.
"Get out! Go back and cultivate!" Lin Hao was so angry that he shouted loudly, "It seems that I've spoiled you too much over the years, making you more and more unruly. Let me tell you, everyone knows about your battle with Qin Hao three years later. If you lose, it will disgrace the reputation of our Heavenly Heart City. At that time, I'll make sure to skin you alive."
"Fine, I'll cultivate. I don't believe a waste like him can turn the tide!" Lin Xin'er left angrily, not paying any attention to Qin Hao.
In her eyes, the reason why Qin Hao could single-handedly fight three Elders of the Nascent Soul Realm from the Golden Eagle Sect was just because he relied on external forces. As long as she put a little effort in cultivation, she could easily trample Qin Hao underfoot.
"What a disaster for the family, what a disaster!" Lin Hao was so angry that he was trembling, feeling more and more regret for spoiling his daughter.
Apart from privately going to the Qin family to cancel the marriage and falling out with the Qin family, she had also made the Heavenly Heart City a suspect, drawing the attention of the entire ancient wilderness. Moreover, she had stubbornly driven Lin San out of the Heavenly Heart City, which was equivalent to losing a future important general.
Meanwhile---
The Emperor of Da Xia also received relevant reports and quickly summoned his ministers for a meeting.
"It's unexpected that Qin Hao could rise again after being crippled. It's really beyond our expectations!"
"Do you all remember that Fang Chang once said that the second young master of the Qin family, the waste, had the potential to rise? He guessed it right."
"Originally, after Fang Chang set up a plan to sow discord between the Qin family and the Heavenly Heart City, he planned to deal with this second young master of the Qin family. Who knew that during a trip to the Yin Yue Dynasty, Fang Chang went astray and left, so we didn't pay much attention to this matter."
"We were shortsighted, and Fang Chang is indeed remarkable!"
"Now that the Qin family is already strong enough, if this second young master rises again, the situation of the court will become even more precarious."
"The battle between the two Qins is inevitable. We don't need to worry about it for the time being. We should focus on locating Lin San and inviting Fang Chang back to oversee the overall situation."
After listening to various opinions, the Emperor of Da Xia once again sent out more people to search for Fang Chang and Lin San.
At this moment---
Qin Feng and his group were inquiring about news at an inn when they unexpectedly heard about Qin Hao.
"Is it over already!?" Qin Feng was stunned on the spot, indicating that he wasn't playing along with this kind of manipulation. He had traveled far and wide with thousands of troops and horses to support his younger brother, only to find out that the location of his younger brother hadn't even been found yet, and the job was already done. Was he not worthy of the chance to show off as the big antagonist, or was he only suitable to be a negative example of slaughtering other people's sects? Forget it! As long as his younger brother was safe, it was good. It was time for him to shine next!
"Waiter, bring us some wine!"
Just then, a familiar female voice sounded.
"Huh?!" Qin Feng raised his head and became slightly stunned, recognizing the familiar figure of Princess Nanfeng. Unlike the previous disciples of the Heavenly Sect, she entered the inn with several dozen guards, all emitting strong auras.
"Qin Feng!!" Princess Nanfeng's surprised voice suddenly rang out as she unintentionally saw Qin Feng in the inn.
"Qin Feng!!" The guards quickly surrounded Princess Nanfeng, pulling out their swords vigilantly and staring at Qin Feng.
"How can we meet here!?" Qin Feng was also surprised, not understanding why they always seemed to encounter each other. Was her fate intertwined not only with Fang Chang but also with him...
